Definitions

  • Water-bearing household appliances of the prior art e.g. washing machines and in particular dishwashers
  • the disadvantage of this is that the user always requires a light source outside the appliance in order to check the load.
  • a light source outside the appliance is also required e.g. for filling the salt dispenser which is generally located inside the washing compartment.
  • the user of such appliances often finds it difficult to perform certain operations inside a dishwasher or washing machine, such as cleaning or filling any tanks, etc., precisely because no interior light source is provided.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a water-bearing household appliance which at least partly eliminates said disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the invention specifically relates to a water-bearing household appliance, in particular a dishwasher, having a housing with a housing edge which defines a washing compartment opening, and having a washing compartment enclosed by the housing and defined by the housing and by a seal and which can be tightly shut by an appliance door which can be positioned at the seal, and having lighting means disposed in the area between housing edge and seal for illuminating the washing compartment.
  • lighting means are connected to a ribbon cable.
  • Light-emitting diodes disposed on circuit boards are already known in the prior art, e.g. from DE 10 2004 004 777 A1.
  • the disadvantage is the large amount of space required for the circuit boards even when they can be interconnected by ribbon cable.
  • Ribbon cables consist of a plurality of insulated conductor wires running parallel to one another on a flat plane. Ribbon cables therefore require less space and can be laid flat anywhere in the interior of a dishwasher. It is even possible to mount the ribbon cable inside the washing compartment, i.e. in the wet cell.
  • the ribbon cable or cables are preferably disposed horizontally or vertically in a U-shaped or annularly circumferential manner outside or inside the washing compartment.
  • the ribbon cable prefferably mounted outside the washing compartment, i.e. in an area that is not part of the wet area.
  • the washing compartment or wet area is the area which is wetted during the washing process.
  • a water-bearing household appliance is based on conventional appliances having a washing compartment opening which is defined by a housing edge and can be sealed by an appliance door. Normally such an appliance door is fitted precisely into the washing compartment opening and even extends partially into the interior of the housing, thereby achieving better sealing.
  • a seal is generally provided which is located some distance from the housing edge inside the housing and defines the washing compartment.
  • An area of the housing is therefore available which is located between the seal and the washing compartment and which is not part of the wet zone. This area is concealed by the appliance door when the latter is closed.
  • the housing edge is expediently provided with a flange which facilitates installation.
  • the lighting means are connected to uncut conductors of the ribbon cable, i.e. the lighting means are not connected to bare conductor ends of the ribbon cable.
  • An electrically conductive connection can be provided by soldering the lighting means directly onto the uncut conductors of the ribbon cable, the insulation covering the individual conductors of the ribbon cable being melted as part of the soldering process and the electrically conductive connection established.
  • the ribbon cable is disposed directly adjacent to the seal in the area between the seal and the housing edge. It can be disposed inside the housing or outside. However, it is preferably disposed outside, with recesses in the housing ensuring that the lighting means can illuminate the interior of the washing compartment.
  • lighting means basically all types of lighting means that can be mounted on a ribbon cable can be used. However, LEDs are preferred. It is possible to mount, on a ribbon cable, LEDs which emit light of difference colors. However, blue or red or white emitting LEDs are preferably used.
  • the number of LEDs per centimeter or square centimeter of cable can be adapted to suit the application. There are virtually no limitations here. However, if a single row of LEDs is used on the cable, at least 1 LED, preferably 2, preferably 3 to 4 per 50 centimeters are preferably used. In the case of broader ribbon cables, the LEDs can also be disposed in a plurality of rows, a number of at least one LED per 30, preferably 20, preferably 10, preferably 6 preferably 4 square centimeters being preferred.
  • 2 LEDs are used for the entire upper edge of a dishwasher.
  • SMDs Surface Mounted Devices
  • a Hall sensor and possibly a transistor are preferably used as SMDs.
  • the Hall sensor is suitable for controlling the lighting such that the lighting means are only supplied with power when the appliance door is open.
  • recesses are also provided for the electronic components in the housing.
  • the recesses can preferably also incorporate mounts with a drill hole in which in the lighting means and electronic components can be locked into place. This type of mounting enables the current-carrying cable to be disposed outside the housing, while the lighting means merely project through the recesses, possibly in a corresponding mount, thereby enabling the washing compartment to be optimally lit without running the risk of the lighting means being wetted by water.
  • a T-shape is particularly preferred for the ribbon cable.
  • the cross-member of the T is provided with the lighting means and electronic components, while the longitudinal member leads to a power source. This allows simple and space-saving installation.
  • the ribbon cable can also be used in tape form, e.g. it can be disposed around the housing in a U-shaped or annularly circumferential manner.
  • a water-bearing household appliance according to the present invention has the advantage that particularly space-saving and aesthetic lighting can be achieved.
  • a ribbon cable is also part of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the housing of a dishwasher according to the invention in the open state without appliance door;
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a ribbon cable suitable for the invention, with lighting means
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a section of the housing of a dishwasher according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 shows a mount for fixing the lighting means
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of a ribbon cable suitable for the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the housing 2 of a dishwasher 1 according to the invention, in the open state.
  • the appliance door is not shown.
  • the dishwasher has a housing 2 which encloses a washing compartment 6 .
  • the essentially cuboidal housing 2 opens to the front, so that the interior of the washing compartment 6 is accessible through said washing compartment opening 8 .
  • the washing compartment opening 8 has the dimensions of the front wall of the housing 2 and can be sealed by an appliance door (not shown ) which is disposed on a hinge 10 .
  • the washing compartment opening is defined by a housing edge 4 which, in the embodiment shown, has an edge area in the shape of a flange.
  • a seal 16 disposed circumferentially inside the housing 2 in the area of the washing compartment opening 8 . When the appliance door is shut, is closes off the washing compartment along the seal 16 .
  • the washing compartment 6 which represents the wet zone of the dishwasher, is therefore delimited by the seal 16 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective plan view of an inventively usable ribbon cable 18 in the form of a T.
  • two LEDs 20 namely on the outer edges of the cable 18 in each case.
  • another electronic component 28 in this case a Hall sensor, a transistor and various resistors.
  • the Hall sensor is likewise mounted to the underside of the cable 18 .
  • the cable 18 also has a longitudinal member 30 which connects the cable to the power supply.
  • Said ribbon cable 18 is designed to be externally disposed on the housing according to FIG. 1 , wherein the LEDs 20 and the other electrical component 28 can be brought out through the recesses 12 , 14 , thereby enabling them to illuminate the washing compartment.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section of the housing 2 as it is also schematically illustrated in FIG. 1 . Again visible are the recesses 12 , 14 for the LEDs 20 or another electronic component 28 . Also shown in this embodiment is a mount 32 which can be inserted in the recesses 12 , 14 . The mount has a drilled hole which can accommodate an LED 20 or an electronic component 28 .
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged perspective view of a mount 32 .
  • the mount has supporting ribs 34 into which an LED 20 or electronic component 28 can be inserted and locked in place.
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of a ribbon cable 18 suitable for the invention, with LEDs 20 .
  • the ribbon cable shown consists of conductors 24 which are embedded in an insulating material 22 .
  • LEDs 20 and other electronic components 28 are soldered directly onto the conductors 24 . This also applies to the electronic components 28 .
  • the devices are so-called Surface Mounted Devices (SMDs).
  • SMDs Surface Mounted Devices
  • a Hall sensor and a transistor are provided so that the supply of current for the LEDs can be controlled, e.g., so that the lighting is activated only when the appliance door is opened.
